CZ issues an urgent reminder: Don’t just guard against hackers—Windows vulnerabilities could put you at risk too!
On November 7, exchange founder CZ shared a Microsoft security warning, reminding users that even the most secure applications can’t protect you from vulnerabilities in the operating system itself. Don’t put off system updates.
This concerns a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Paint, identified as CVE-2026-83844, with a CVSS score of 8.1. It affects users running versions earlier than 11.2605.91.0. In short, attackers could exploit this vulnerability to read out-of-bounds data and even remotely execute malicious code.
The good news is that Microsoft has released a security patch, and there are currently no confirmed reports of the vulnerability being actively exploited.
For crypto users, security isn’t just about protecting wallet private keys—computers and phones are also important gateways to your assets. If you regularly log in to exchanges or manage wallets, be sure to update your systems and software promptly. Don’t give hackers an opening.$UAI $GTC $JCT
